Built by White's Shipyard (Southampton.) Ltd in 1961.
214 Gross.
Voith Schneider Unit driven by a 300 bhp Lister Blackstone Diesel.
340 Passengers.
Delivered for the Tilbury-Gravesend Service in February 1961 and operated until she was withdrawn from service and had her Passenger Certificate cancelled in 1984.
Laid up and sold to Open Leisure Ltd in 1990.

Conversion to a 'Stern Wheeler' took place at Albert Edward Dock as shown in the bottom Photographs.
However some initial work must have been done at Harrisons.

No wonder she looks in a state after being laid up for six years.
Paul Hood. + WSS Tyneside Branch Hon Sec.
